About the Race
The 2023 Wellesley Turkey Trot 5K race is SOLD OUT. We reached capacity meaning there is no additional space to accommodate more runners. We will try to offer a two-wave start next year to allow more people to participate.
Please do not show up to run or walk at race time if you do not have a bib.


Bank of America is proud to present the Wellesley Turkey Trot, a wonderful start to Thanksgiving day.
